My kitchen may not always be clean, but it is always lively.

How McDonalds Screwed Up Oatmeal – I’ll admit to trying the oatmeal a couple of times. You give me a coupon for a free product that is reasonably healthy and I’ll almost always use it. The first time I asked for no brown sugar, assuming it meant plain. It came out with the ‘cream’ sauce and was too sweet to eat. Even the kids thought it was too sweet (and this was without the brown sugar). I ended up eating out the apples and cranberries. The next time I asked for only oatmeal, hot water and fruit and it came out as just instant oatmeal with fruit. Much better.

Welcome to The Lively Kitchen!

I'm Michelle, a stay at home mama to two very active kids and wife to one very patient man. I eat a mostly vegetarian diet, read a lot of books, drink even more tea and try to keep up with my kids. In my pre-housewife days I was a corporate food scientist and I still love to create food. Glad you stopped by!
